Yup that's it, I called them yesterday but they didn't answer, afraid they may of stopped carrying it I bought it from a third party for more money just didn't want to risk it.
I suggest if you plan to do it in the future to go ahead and get it. You never know when they may stop making/carrying the thing.
At the risk of wearing you out, was wiring easy? Did it mount up by the switch? Or back by the locker? I looked at the Slee document, not sure why they are listing ORANGE 2x? Typo?
I have not wired it.. I ordered the circuit module yesterday though so I can get started
I rebuilt the e-locker very detailed so, I became very familiar with the wires and what they do. I think I do remember seeing two orange wires. One for the arm location sensor and one for the actuator but I can't remember. Currently the e-locker is on the axle with the plugs hanging free installed on my rig.
Man that axle looks good, nice work.
Thanks! it was rough looking when I received it from mud member 40Habbits, came from rust belt and it showed. Had some help from my mini-me
I need to look into this! Thanks for the detail.
My intention is to do a write up on a build thread for everything I've done so far, I never even got around to doing an intro to the website and I joined almost a year ago! I'll make some time to do it this weekend. I'll detail this out as well as some other things like using a seat heater switch for a hi/low fog lap circuit switch that was a pretty cool mod I thought. Long list of things I'll write it all up future use of the mudders.
As far as price it all depends on what you buy the axle for, but that's the extent of the cost. There are no other additional costs aside from the slee chip, and a switch. Axle runs from 700-1000 used typically, chip is $100 bucks so you can get away with it for under $1000 and it litteraly just drops in. There is a couple of mounting holes to fab very simple.
IMO this set up is better than stock. You get the 2000 and up stronger front diff, plus ATRAC plus locked axle that needs no low gear override and no ECU. Simple switch and you get on demand e-locker no need to wait for ATRAC to kick in, no need to put in 4low no need for extra ECU can run locked at good speed and not have to wait til your are stuck. This is how they should of came post 2000.
looking to do this pretty soon. will have the oem diff lock switch and wiring and rear axle. reading this sound like its a straight bolt on minus the extra brake line bracket.
